India rings 2010 in high spirits | The New Year eve was celebrated in high spirits all across the country on Thursday. Tourists celebrated the coming of the New Year at Manali, in Himachal
Pradesh. Scores of tourists attended the event, organised by the state's tourism
department. They also enjoyed traditional delicacies, along with folk and cultural
programmes. Manali has been a favoured tourist destination for years. "Given a
chance, I would like to visit the place next year and celebrate the New Year,"
said Manjit, a tourist. Bangalore, the IT capital of India also rang in the New
Year despite heavy security. The entire city was colourfully decorated, and markets
and streets were lit with sparkling lights. In Secunderabad city, the Christian
community offered prayers for peace and prosperity in the New Year. "I take this
opportunity to wish everybody a happy and prosperous and bright new year. We see
that 2009 has given lot of difficulties and problems but we don't foresee the
same. We wish that everyone has a bright future," George Victor, a devotee, said. |
